Absolutely true.

4 years ago, the daughter of a friend wanted to enter a dental hygienist program. She wanted to move from our rural area to Milwaukee, WI, live with her grandmother and experience an urban environment while getting her degree. She was from a low-income family, qualified for assistance, had top grades, was a high-school graduate from within the state and had been accepted into the program at a State technical training community college. Then, she had an in person interview. She was advised to get her training on the Western side of the state of Wisconsin because, in Milwaukee, there were very few openings for Caucasians. The majority of the openings were reserved for minorities. La Crosse, WI, OTOH, is predominately Caucasian and so, there are openings available for them, there. In Milwaukee, there was a 4-year wait for Caucasian applicants.

Anecdote, not data. This has already been established practice in health care of all types.
